Serial number of a HOHNER L75

Hi, I have a HOHNER L75 Professional with a SN C206903
can I know the year of fabrication?

This guitar was made in 1992 in Indonesia

Hello! I just joined the site because I’m looking for information about my Hohner L75. I know it was made in Korea, but I’m not sure about the year – though it must have been in 1990 or before, since I got it in 1990. The serial number is 8825583. That would make me think it was made in 1988, but I’d read somewhere years ago that the serial numbers aren’t always an accurate way of figuring out date of manufacture. Thank you in advance for any information!

You may well be right with your assumption it was built in 1988. I’ve asked the Service Dept. if they can confirm and whether they have any further infos,
Steve
